Hello, Susanne - the brachiosaurus you have pictured is, along with the slightly smaller diplodocus, much much larger than most of the rest (I haven't seen the Elasmo or the Parasaur pluschies, but I imagine someone has one or both).

If you collect them, please look for the Schleich tag, as Gund sold these with a Gund tag (presumably the manufacturer) here in the USA. Evidently, the line available in Germany in 1994 was cross-licensed in a similar manner as the AAA Made in China sealife lines and the Safari Ltd.-manufactured Schleich "Authentics" were.

Thank you ! That is very good to know !!!!!

My dino fortunately has a white piece of fabric attached stating that it is Schleich. But not the loose paper-one, that I can see in some photoes.The "fabric" thing does not say if the dino is washable. I thought maybe the paper-tag does ?

Susanne, I checked the ones I have with tag, and they do not list any mention of washing or care instructions. Since these were actually manufactured by Gund, the famous stuffed toy maker, maybe you can refer to their website for such information..... :)

I think washing the outside on low temperatures is not the problem, but the inside material can go bad, specially when it is old... Then you end up with a plush-dino, that can't stand anymore or so, because the inside material is shredded or something like that..

Thank you. they have some lovely teddies There is nothing about washing on the site, - I could write them, of course..

...but, Willy, you are probably right. (I don`t know how to quote two persons), so I won`t risk it.

Drycleaning perhaps ?

No, I think I will wait till summer, and air it well and good in my wood-shed. There is no sun to bleach it and lots of fresh air...fortunately the dino is not really dirty, he just smells of stale smoke

Thanks for your help, both friends

You might try something like febreeze on it to take out the odor. There is also one called 0 odor that might work. There is also another called Oust that might be helpful. They are all spray on and are supposed to take out odors.

Yes, good idea !I don`t know those brands, but we must have something similar here .
